OK, I'm ready to admit defeat in trying to modify the separator regex: 

$url=~ /^(\w+):\/*([^\/]+)\/(.*)$/;

[download]

The way I'm reading this is: between  /^(\w+) is $protocol, between  \/*([^\/]+) is $site, and  \/(.*)$ is $path.

So, based on the above, if I use a comma separator for the $site portion, the line should look like: 

$url=~ /^(\w+):\/*([^\/]+),(.*)$/;

[download]
and the appropriate line in my text file looks like:

ftp://XX/yyyy@123.456.789.012,/

However, when I then run the script, I get several "uninitalized value" errors, one for the pattern match ($site=~ /\@/), one for a line trying to use $host, the other for a line trying to use $path.

Just for kicks, I tried substituting a comma wherever there was \/, but I got minor variations on the above errors. I also tried substituting \; , but that didn't seem to make a difference.

So, any help appreciated - if I can learn something about regexs today I will be happy.

Thanks,

Glenn
